FEMME X HOMME

Feminine vs masculine? I admire people that can really play in both worlds, mixing the two together in perfect balance. 90% of the time I will wear something androgynous: oversized coats, pants, basic tops, and sneakers (or flat ankle boots like these Acne's). To keep it slightly feminine I wear mostly skinny pants, some jewellery and finish the look with a bag. I have never done the sweet, endearing look, that it is predominate in my city. I normally dress in laid back clothes, and if I am dressing up for a special occasion I may wear a dress, or a skirt and even heels; but the look will continue to have many masculine undertones.What about you: Femme, homme or androgynous?
PS. This past Friday was my anniversary with my boy, we had an amazing time and to top it all he surprised me with this dope Alexander Wang Lia Bag.

Ooh your boyfriend is spoiling you :D you lucky girl. But I'm not complaining either. I got a lovely bag for Christmas from my boyfriend. It's not as exclusive as yours, but it's big (I can fit all of my necessities) and I love it!

When it comes to androgynous outfits, it's totally my cup of tea. I am not a kind of girly girl. I love oversize, man's trousers and t-shirts, caps and so on. However, I have to admit that recently more feminine shoes attract my attention. I came to conclusion that when I wear so many masculine pieces, feminine shoes would give a nice balance to the outfit. And as a first step towards that, I bought booties on a thin heel. When I get used to walking in them (after spending years wearing only chunky boots) I will definitely post them on the blog.

For the end of my quite long comment I have to add that, as usual, I adore your outfit. Simple and clean. Your photos are also fabulous, very bright and fresh :)

Aaaw, happy anniversary! What a fabulous gift, your man knows what to do!!! :D I like to dress more masculine, but sometimes have the need to be as girly as a flower petal, maybe it's the hormones...I adore your androgynous outfit and style, they're one of the reasons I enjoy your blog so much :)

when i first saw your blog in 2012 , i was mesemrized .. youre like a new gem among the common bloggers who look the same. up until today, that vibe is still strong.. love this outfit.. the logomania is incredibly paired with the long coat. have fun with your beau

You wanted to know what I think of the Rick Owens Sphinx show: I thought it was very well done. Of all the contemporary runway designers, it had to be Rick who was first to feature male nudity on the runway - forever the rebellious non-conformist that he is. Bravo to him. As for the clothes, I thought they were beautiful.

I've started 2017 in a positive manner, I used this past week to break some old habits; my goal is to allow growth and to be a better version of myself. Needless to say, this wasn't easy but I am committed to breaking these habits, one at a time. I stand by the mantra "mind over matter", using willpower to do things you may not think you're capable of.

Here is a rare occasion of me braving the cold without a jacket, to show this double dose of femininity & texture. In fashion whether you're you are a maximalist or a minimalist, my tip to you is to build your outfit around one striking element. An accessory, a colour, a cut or material - you can have more than one element but keep in mind that "less is more" and more is actually more.

My striking element here is colour. I wanted to start the year with bright whites, white is the epitome of Summe…

Whenever I talk about starting afresh, going back to basics, I always end up in black jeans, tees, leather jackets, and sneakers or black boots. Some may find it boring, not me. I’ve come to realize you should always dress for yourself and do whatever makes you feel confident.Now and then you can mix things up, choose something that will pop against your all black outfit; this is where shades of different colours or textures come in to play. Here I am experimenting with new silhouettes, mixing colours, textures & layering to survive the cold weather. Thanks to this chunky knit by THPShop I can stay warm & stylish at the same time.

From season to season, year after year, black pieces have always been the essential building blocks of my style. It is no secret that I am a fan of black. It is a reliable section of your closet that never lets you down. For any occasion or crisis, black will fufill your needs, make you look effortless and fashionable. It is my go-to option - no doubt, when you shop minimal pieces you end up being timeless. What is your go-to colour when it comes to building your wardrobe and making styling decisions?
